In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the growth and instability in the geographical areas and production of paddy and wheat in Punjab along with evaluate the factors affecting the growth. Furthermore, this study will be based on secondary data for the period of 10 years from 2010-2020. The data will be collected from various secondary sources like statistical abstract of Punjab, economic survey, research papers, reports, newspapers etc. The study revealed that positive compound annual growth were found in both the crops and highest variation was found in production as compared to area and yield.
